hey nonas

are you street-smart?
deletion thread

gdi why is it so difficult to understand that in the racist/sexist/etc society of the USA people of color are not considered to be American? this doesnt mean we dont hold citizenship/aren't american but we arent considered to be American in the eyes of american nationalism. we dont have that much a say in government, in military, in politics.

we're foreign and Othered in our own country

look at how jeremy lin was treated by supposedly progressive people like ben and jerry's.

ffa understands this

yeah wtf

which means you get to decide what is and is not racist in other countries why?

bc nona has no idea wtf is actually being discussed rn that's why

i'm not. im objecting to ppl outside the us lumping white people and people of color within the same group, as if they were equal

oh baw

well white people in other countries say you are so deal with it

ok yes that makes sense

but how is that a rebuttal to the statement that nationalities and ethnicities that the american consciousness generally considers white are not always considered white elsewhere in the world

its not? im objecting to people lumping white people and people of color in the same group of American

stop lumping counries or whole continents into one group first

no one has done this

unless you consider 'hey if you're american you probably shouldn't be trying to tell ppl in other countries what their experiences wrt racism and ethnic discrimination are, no matter what race you are' to be 'lumping white people and people of colour in the same group of american'

so are the Sami hth

they were sterilized and experimented on

and then ethnically cleansed off their lands
